Wikitroid:Protection policy

Administrators can protect pages and unprotect pages. Protection of a page or image means that a non-admin cannot modify it.

The majority of pages on the wiki should remain publicly editable, and not protected. Pages may, however, be temporarily or permanently protected for legal reasons (for example, license texts should not be changed) or in cases of extreme vandalism or edit warring.

There are two kinds of protection:

Full protection disables editing for everyone except other administrators.

Semi-protection disables editing from IP addresses and accounts less than four days old.

All protections and unprotections are automatically logged in the protection log.

A page or image that has been a recent target of persistent vandalism or persistent edits by a banned user.

There is no need to protect personal .css and .js pages like user/monobook.css or user/cologneblue.js. Only the accounts associated with these pages (and admins) are able to edit them. For more information on using these pages, see the help page on Central.
